A two-story building on Steinway Street formerly occupied by Pole Berg, a men’s clothing store, is now on the market for $2.25M.

The property, located at 31-64 Steinway St. just off Broadway, spans 3,300 square feet between its two floors.

The sale is being arranged by Goldenwood Property Advisors, who said the asking price is practically the best deal on the market despite the frenzy created by Amazon building its headquarters in nearby Long Island City.

“The economic injection brought about by the arrival of Amazon HQ2 location in Long Island City will undoubtedly increase the value of real estate in the Astoria area,” said Rubin Isak, the listing broker for the property.

He added: “At $681/SF on this block, this is arguable the best deal on the market in Astoria.”

Pole Berg, which has sold men’s clothing at the site for nearly 20 years, will vacate the building prior to the sale closing.

Rubin Isak: “Amazon…will raise real estate values in Astoria…” Would someone please ‘splain to me how Amazon moving to LIC benefits Steinway Street retail properties. Why would they be worth more because of this? ‘Splain to to me o Great One.

I’m not sure about Amazon but Silverstein (owner of the World Trade Center) is building a couple thousand apartments on the full block and a half that they now control on 40 st between 35 and 36 ave. Their parcel also includes the used car lot directly on Steinway. They are just waiting for Mayer Malbin to move out in the next 2 months (they just sold to Silverstein) and some of the current tenants leases to expire.
One block off of Steinway – this should at least rejuvenate the Broadway to Northern Blvd portion of Steinway

The NYC Ferry system is set to undergo a significant expansion in coming months, with the Astoria route, connecting the western Queens neighborhood to Wall Street, getting a new stop at the Brooklyn Navy Yard this spring.
